Re: Police helicopter
HiThere were 4 crimes in April within a mile of where I live, where I am moving to there were 183.
It is just a fact of life.
Most of the crimes were young people, a lot late at night, early hours, outside takeaways etc.
They do not bother me because I will not be there, neither will I be getting involved with warring gangs of yobs.

To be old is to be vulnerable.
Several times, I had dodgy characters knock the door obviously expecting someone vulnerable to answer.
I keep a 3 foot wrecking bar beside the door in order to repel boarders now.

I think it's a how society is going and we just have to deal with it.... it's scary though.
Did the police actually come when the gang of yobs were around your car?
It is indeed how society is going, but the causes and the obvious solutions are clear for all to see.
Far fewer police and no real deterrent from the courts.
It upsets me to see our country deteriorating in this way, but it upsets me more knowing how easily the problem could be overcome with the right political will.
Our do-gooders have a great deal to answer for.

Re: Police helicopter
My Partners farm is a couple of miles outside a small village, so very very quiet here. When I go to my own home in Perth it's also quiet, long time neighbours and know each other well, we all gel nicely.There was a couple of guys nosing around the gardens a few years ago, I awoke with my Maggie growling, so I peeked out the window and saw a shape at the shed. I had 3 Old English Sheepies at that time and I just opened the back door and they all flew out barking lol. The snoopers about broke their necks getting over the bottom fence and have never been back.
